“I consider working at Ocean Conservancy as the inflection point in my career. That opportunity allowed me to really improve my English skills, and also to see how the marine conservation world works. It was at the end of the internship that I was highly encouraged to pursue my career, which made me enter a Master's Program at Dalhousie University in Canada. During that internship, I learned so much. It was an opportunity that made me grow both professionally and also personally. Without the internship that I conducted at Ocean Conservancy, I have no doubt my life would be very different right now.”

Liz got the travel bug as a teenager when she volunteered in Mexico. After extensive travel, interning and studying abroad, she is excited to help others fulfill their dreams of experiencing another culture through InterExchange’s Career Training USA program.
